NIMS (Niche Instant Mashup Site) is my most recent scripting project.
Basically, I wanted a tool that could quickly build legitimate and useful mashup pages based on topic keywords and this is what I came up with.
To be clear, this script DOES NOT scrape, rewrite or steal other’s content. It builds mashup pages.
To build a page you just input your topic keywords and the script will then search for the most recent articles, news and videos from various RSS feed sources that are related to your keywords and display them together on the page.
It doesn’t store this content in any way, it simply aggregates it all together in a mashup on your page that once built, will constantly seek out the most recent material automatically, so your pages are always fresh and current.
The script is simple to use. It takes about 5-10 minutes to setup on a new domain and then each page can be created in under a minute.
This isn’t a script for mass volume page building, it is really designed to use for a niche where you may have a few dozen keywords to target. In under an hour you can have individual pages for every keyword that each contain 700+ words of rich text content and multiple videos all related to your keywords.
Some benefits of the script:
- Constantly fresh content on your topic keywords
- Optimized content:
- Your page keywords get proper headline placements.
- The minimal layout is CSS based.
- All outbound links are JS coded and contain “nofollow” attributes. Pages give appropriate credit to all sources without leaking.
- Nearly no visible footprint as even the CSS DIV tags are labeled with editable variables so you can mix up DIV ID’s with each site you create from the script
- Pulls article RSS data from multiple sources
- Pulls the latest related information and content from Yahoo! News and Answers
- Is setup with 4 optional advertising areas in-place (use 1, some, all or none as you desire):
- Top of content large square block perfect for contextual ads.
- Mid-page content block for any type of advertising you want.
- Sidebar skyscraper block for contextual or banner ads.
- In-content keyword linking - with this option you can designate a unique keyword for every page you create to have it link to your (affiliate?) URL whenever that keyword appears in the page content.
- Has built-in HTML sitemap and Tag cloud that uses your page keyword titles
Script Requirements:
* Your host must be running PHP 5.1 or above (most are but if you aren’t sure just ask your web host)
The bonus that comes in addition to being able to build fast mashup pages is that you’ll always have optimized, fresh content that’s going to be of interest and value to visitors. That makes these pages fairly easy to market and monetize with the optional advertising sections I built into it.
And if you’re comfortable with HTML and basic PHP you can add additional content or advertising anywhere you like very easily since the pages portion of the script work off of a single template.
Here’s a picture to show what a NIMS created page looks like. It’s a split screen to show the page in full, and also the same page with all of the features highlighted and described. Please note that the screen shot was scaled down for viewing, but the actual pages created are fixed width at 980 pixels wide:

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about the script. I think I’ve covered most everything though. There is a PDF step-by-step user manual included for setting up a NIMS site and building pages that anyone can follow along with.

Something you could add to this script would be Google search, just saw today that the adsense blog is saying sites that use a Google search widget will get more pages indexed.
If thats true then it might also help new sites get indexed faster too.
